Sometimes an experiment works; sometimes it doesn’t. <a href='https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0405296/'>A Scanner Darkly</a> from 2006 is an enigma as it somehow manages to do both simultaneously. A commercial and box office failure, this cult classic still manages to be an entertaining and visually incredible piece of work. John Malkovich’s secret movie that won’t premiere until 2115, rebooting Frisky Dingo, and Winona Ryder’s weird love for men named Bob are just some of the topics of discussion on this week’s episode as we break open A Scanner Darkly. Hi, FBI! A Scanner Darkly stars Keanu Reeves, Robert Downey Jr., Woody Harrelson, Winona Ryder, and Rory Cochrane. Directed by Richard Linklater.
